What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

What is shochu alcohol made of?
Shochu is a traditional Japanese distilled spirit. It can be made from a variety of base ingredients, including barley, sweet potatoes, rice, and other grains or vegetables. The most common types are barley shochu (mugi-jochu), sweet potato shochu (imo-jochu), and rice shochu (kome-jochu). Unlike sake, which is brewed, shochu is distilled, resulting in a higher alcohol content typically ranging from 25% to 35% ABV.
Is sake in Japan gluten-free?
Sake, the traditional Japanese rice wine, is generally considered gluten-free. It is made from fermented rice, which does not contain gluten. However, some sake producers may add small amounts of distilled alcohol or other ingredients that could potentially contain gluten. To be completely certain, it's best to check with the specific sake manufacturer or choose certified gluten-free options.
Is shochu made of barley or sweet potato?
Shochu can be made from various ingredients. Both barley and sweet potato are common base ingredients for shochu. However, shochu can also be made from rice, brown sugar, or other starchy materials. The specific ingredient used depends on the type and style of shochu being produced.
Is Suntory All Free gluten-free?
Suntory All Free is generally considered to be gluten-free. It is a non-alcoholic beer-flavored beverage made from hops, barley, and other ingredients. The brewing process removes gluten proteins, resulting in a product with gluten levels below the threshold for gluten-free classification. However, individuals with severe gluten sensitivities should consult the manufacturer or their doctor for specific advice.
